Blu-ray Disc players  the ultimate picture and sound

Blu-ray players deliver a better picture to your HDTV than any other available source. In fact, Blu-ray's 1080p picture is a perfect match for the 1080p screens found on most current TVs. Blu-ray movies also offer the most precise and realistic surround sound you can get.

Good player...

No complaints...was easy to set-up and works as expected. Basically just wanted a decent quality blue-ray / dvd player and I think that's what I got. We already had a Roku so I have not used the networking aspect of the player yet. However, getting it on my home network was very easy, so I'm pleased with the set-up and the play quality is great - as expected.

Nice, compact BluRay player with a great price!

I bought this player for my mom, and she loves it! The setup was easy and only takes a a few minutes. The wifi capability works flawlessly, and my mom's old DVD collection just becomes a whole lot better when watching it through this new DVD. Great job Sony! and kudos to Crutchfield for the prompt delivery - it's always a good experience when shopping with Crutchfield.

Pros:Easy to set up. Very light. Wifi works great and many apps are supported, including Amazon Instant Video. Up-convert of video also works well.

Soo pleased

I am so pleased that I visited your site & read the reviews. We love our Sony blue-ray/streaming video player. The one Consumers Reports touted got some real poor reviews elsewhere the Sony has great reviews & has lived up to the praise during the 6 week we have been using it.

Sony BDP-S3100

Limited use, at this point, but quite satisfied. Like the small footprint of the unit. Still learning the options of the other things that can be accessed. Reasonable price, Sony brand, and Crutchfield tech support were reasons for buying this unit.

good price on decent machine

Have had this player for a month; works fine and picture/sound is as expected from a Blueray playing DVDs. The WiFi set-up is pretty intuitive-- but hogs the bandwidth on my home wifi so can't run computer whilet this is activated. might be my home set up but have it turned off at this point

Sony BDP-S3100 Blu Ray Player

Very easy to set up. Has digital coaxial output besides the HDMI output. This was necessary to route the audio through my Denon sound system.Blu Ray discs play back beautifully with enhanced color and detail and the audio is significantly better than with standard DVD. Great music available through Pandora and streaming movies from Amazon Prime is great. If you pause a movie, it returns to where you left off when you resume. Altogether pleased with this BluRay player.

Sony BDP-S3100

The Sony BDP-S3100 is the perfect Blur-Ray player for the casual viewer. Supplies a great picture and platform for viewing web based video services, very easy to set up and install. I have owned for 2 years and it has never failed me. I have purchased for relatives and helped set up over the phone with great success. A simple and easy solution to your blu-ray needs.

sony BDP S3100

Outstanding value .for the price .Product quality and features were more than I expected even for a Sony item does every thing advertised and more. Bought two units no problems. Very happy with purchase

Great Blu- Ray

This is a real good quality player. This is my second Sony Blu-ray player. This one is quicker to boot than my previous one. At the time of that purchase I wasn't aware that some machines are slower to start vs others so that was never a priority. This time I wanted something quicker to start. Not only the quicker start up, but the visuals and sound coming from this unit are terrific! I upgraded the HDMI cable to the Audioquest Pearl. They perform well in conjunction with the player. The first movie I watched to test out the player was The Empire Strikes Back on my 50 inch HDTV. It was fantastic! I hooked up my Sony Sound Bar and Subwoofer for an amazing experience. All these components worked amazingly together!

I recommend this unit.

Pros:Quick start up, Picture and Sound quality, WIFI capability all backed by Sony's good name

compact

This seems to be a well made, compact unit. It was a toss up between Samsung and this unit and I went with the Sony since it seemed to look nicer. At this point in the game, finding differences in video performance for similarly priced units would be a challenge. The video performance was significantly better than the old Samsung DVD/VHS combo player that it was replacing. Regular DVDs look much cleaner and more detailed on the 720P LCD it is connected to so the up-scaling ability was worth the price alone. The remote is also great with colored buttons and a nice feel in my hand. I was really surprised by how much better regular DVDs look but didn't test it with a 1080P set. This was a gift for parents that don't know the difference between 1080P and 480i so I wasn't too critical. Personally, I am a loyal OPPO fan but after years of improvements, these cheap units are clearly better values.

Pros:Surprising video quality from DVDs when viewed on an HD set. Compact design, and one of the better remote controls I have encountered.

Cons:The unit is so small and light that pushing the stiffer buttons on the front can easily move the unit around. It would have been nice to have some more outputs on the back for connection flexibility.

Sony BDP-S3100

I love this Blu-ray it is very easy to use and my wife loves it. I got it for her so she can watch her Nexflix and still watch great quality Blu-ray discs. Its Wi-fi works great and you can't go wrong with the price.

BluRay

This is my first Blu-ray so I have nothing to compare it with. Very easy to install and setup. I was watching movies in minutes. I like being able to watch Netflix through it. Frees up my Roku for another room. The sound is a bit low but a surround sound system will boost that. Overall great purchase for the price.

Quick, small, fun!

Got this unit for the bedroom, after considering a Roku. This unit does everything the Roku does, AND plays Blu-Ray as well - for about the same price. Seemed like a no-brainer for me. What a great value!

Pros:Sony, so I know I can get a few years of use out of it. Loads Blu-Rays faster than my 3-year old Sony Blu-ray player. Nice and small, great for a bedroom where a small footprint is needed.

Cons:Wish it had a TOSLINK/optical out for my older receiver, no big deal. I made the other digital out work just fine. Wi-Fi receiver could be a tad bit higher gain, but I haven't noticed any issues with my Netflix or Hulu streams.

BDP-S3100

Whats not to like. If you have ever used a Play Station then you can't go wrong with this interface. It works and is easy to use. I love the size of the player. Like someone else has said, it is not easy using this as a web browser so a keyboard would be nice however, this is not a real computer so if I want to browse the internet; I'll use pc. I bought this to play disks and to use Netflix and Hulu Plus and it does that very well.

Great BluRay player

This is an excellent player for the money. Easy to use and I get great picture quality on Netflix over my home wireless network. I had really expected I'd have to hard wire it to my network, but I didn't need to. Remote was easy to connect with my TV also.

Sony BDP-S3100

After having the first model Blu-ray player that Sony came out with for several years I thought it was time for an update to something newer. The older Sony has and continues to work perfectly, I just wanted something new with WI-FI. First of all I was amazed with the size of the player. It is about one quarter the size of the older model and approximately one quarter the weight. Although the newer model doesn't have the front display of the status and time played info for the sake of a sleeker exterior, the same info and more is available on screen with the touch of a button. The new model has so many more features that the old, that it is unbelievable. WI-FI gives you the ability to watch many free and pay for use internet sources for radio, movies, videos, and on and on. One really neat feature is the ability to play movies and pictures that you have shot with your own camera by simply plugging in a memory stick to the built in USB port. The start up time to watch a Blu-ray movie has dramatically been reduced on the newer model as compared to the older Sony. It is simply amazing how many features this DVD player has packed into it, especially considering it's compact size. So far it's been fantastic. One thing worth noting, my DSL internet connection is only about 3.0 GB which usually translates to only about 2.5 GB actual speed. With a connection that slow, some internet features and movies are slow to load. A faster internet speed would work much better.

Pros:Small size without giving up anything in performance and features. Easy set up (signing up for some channels must be done online on your computer). WI-FI reception is great.

Cons:While you can browse the internet and check your email much like a computer, it is very annoying having to input web addresses with the smallish remote control. It would be nice if it allowed for the addition of a wireless keyboard to do those tasks.

Sony delivers again

Sony has once again delivered a solid product. I own several Sony DVD products ad have yet to be disappointed. This specific DVD player is compact without skipping on any of the features you would expect or want. In addition, it is a great value -- especially when I consider how long my other sony products have lasted.

Nice little DVD player

Sweet little DVD/CD player, streams Netflix and YouTube. Nice inexpensive way to seamlessly link to streaming video on my system. Amazed it works so well for the price. Have not yet tried it on a blue ray DVD, just don't watch them that often anymore.

Sony BDP-S3100

This Blu-ray player is excellent. I chose it over the Samsung BD-E5700 because the Sony could play videos from my Ipad on the tv. At first, I was frustrated with the player because it wouldn't properly sync to my network. After many calls to both Crutchfield and Sony, we finally figured out that for the wireless part of the player to work properly, it required a dlna capable router. After I upgraded, I everything worked. The picture is great. I am pleasantly surprised that my Samsung tv remote works with the Sony player. I love the instant access Netflix button.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT

I purchased this item primarily to watch Blu-Ray DVDs, but have actually used it more to stream movies. I have BrightHouse Lightning 90, the fastest wireless Internet offered by my provider, and coupled with my new Sony Blu-Ray player, it is like having my own personal movie theater in my own home. The movies download in an instant and are immediately viewable with absolutely no buffering whatsoever. It is important to have the fastest Internet that you can obtain and afford--if you experience buffering or pixelating with this player, then it's your Internet Speed's fault, and not the fault of this Sony Blu-Ray player. I also love the small size of the player, and never could understand why DVD players had to be so large in the first place. I have watched two blu-ray DVDs as well, and was extremely pleased with the speed and excellent picture/sound that I enjoyed. Crutchfield's ease in ordering and swift delivery is fantastic; I have purchased many items from them including the LED flatscreen television to which my new blu-ray player is attached. After I received my player, its price dropped by $20, and I was swiftly given a refund. I called them, and a very helpful representative answered my call on the first ring! Buy this player from Crutchfield and you will not be disappointed.

The fine print was the problem

Written By JS, Charlottesville, VA on Monday, May 06, 2013

Reviews and its presence in the Crutchfield catalog suggested this player would be good. However, I did not get to that point, because in the process of setup to use the internet connection features, I found in the long agreement on terms of use, a section saying that Sony could collect and share information about use of the product. Although common, the main user and I found this unacceptable, and returned it for a model of lesser capabilities.. Crutchfield happily made the exchange.

One fantastic little Blu-ray player

After a long exhausting search for a good replacement Blu-Ray player I decided upon the Sony BDP-S3100 and I definitely made the right choice. This player boots up fast as is ready to go in no time flat. My other player took a long time just to let you open the cradle to insert the DVD. The choice of apps is extensive and the wi-fi was not only simple to configure but strong as the wireless in my home is well over 30 feet away and one flight up. This little player takes up virtually no real estate and does everything that I could want in a Blu-Ray player plus. What made this purchase even better was knowing that I had Crutchfield on my side should a problem arise as they will be there for the life of this product.

Great price on a ultifeatured Sony BluRay player

Written By RAlph & Marilyn, Hagerstown, Maryland on Wednesday, April 24, 2013

Great price on a full featured Sony Blu Ray player. We don't have 3 D yet, but we might in the future and the price of this little gem let's us think that way. Simple to hook up.just one cable (HDMI) from the player to the set and it was ready to go...well I did have to plug it into an elecrtric socket and push the power on button on the remote. Then we popped in a blu ray disc and the picture was fantastic.

Pros:Low price for a 3D Wifi capable Sony. and so simple to hook up to the TV..I love it.

Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a high-definition
disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality HDTVs. The resolution
is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 54 mbps. Blu-ray Disc
discs and players offer several advantages over the standard DVD format:

Better Picture Quality: Blu-ray Disc
is a true high-definition format offering video at 720p,
1080i, or 1080p resolution. While standard DVDs look very
good on an HDTV, they don't provide a high-definition signal
(not even when you use an up-converting DVD player). Blu-ray
Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed
picture, with deeper, richer colors.

Greater Storage Capacity: What
makes Blu-ray Disc's superior picture and sound possible
is the much higher storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc discs.
A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of data,
over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer
Blu-ray Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours
of High Definition or 23 hours of Standard Definition video,
plus high-resolution multi-channel audio and the added features
and material that require multiple discs with standard DVD.

Backward Compatible: To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing
library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser mechanism:
a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a
conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs.

Note: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on
your disc must match the region code on your player, otherwise the disc will
not play. The BDP-S3100 is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc
uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized
recording of copyrighted material.

Firmware Updates: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve,
new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for
you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the
firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for
downloading from the Internet. Occasionally, Sony may release updated firmware
for this unit that may add or improve the way a feature operates. These updates
are available free of charge. This unit is capable of checking the firmware
automatically when connected to the Internet via broadband connection.

Note: The tested Sony BDP-S3100 Blu-ray player contained
firmware version M14.R.0039 with an immediate update for firmware version
M14.R.0093 (as of 3/14/2013). Visit the
Sony
eSupport Site for the latest firmware update information.

USB Port: The front-panel USB (type-A) port allows you to play
photo, videos, and music files on a connected USB device. The player can recognize
Mass Storage Class (MSC) Devices that are FAT-compatible and Still Image Capture
Devices (SICD) class devices. The player can recognize up to 500 folders/files.
The USB port also allows you to enjoy additional content (such as BonusView) on
certain Blu-ray Disc titles. Some BD-ROMs have bonus content and other data which
can be downloaded to an inserted USB Flash Drive (minimum 1 GB recommended, sold
separately).

Video Section

HDMI (ver.1.3): The BDP-S3100's
HDMI output simplifies A/V connections by carrying video and digital audio in
one cable. The HDMI resolution can be fixed at 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or
1080p, or set to Auto, which selects the highest resolution accepted by your
television.

Note: This player does not offer
any analog audio/video outputs.

Precision Cinema HD Upscaling: Through the HDMI output,
the BDP-S3100 is capable of upscaling the resolution of your standard DVDs. Output
options include Auto (highest resolution accepted by the TV), 1080p (60 Hz video
or 24 Hz), 1080i, or 720p. If necessary the output resolution can also be set to
480p or 480i. You can also choose to bypass the Blu-ray player's scaler, so the
source material's original resolution is passed to your connected TV.

24p True Cinema: Movies are typically recorded on film with a
frame rate of 24 frames per second. When a movie is transferred to Blu-ray Disc at
24 frames per second the BDP-S3100 will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will
accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion.

Triluminos Color: The BDP-S3100 Blu-ray player incorporates Sony's
Triluminos Color technology to provide a wider color gamut with rich, authentic color
and a far more natural viewing experience with a heightened sense of depth.

Deep Color: The Sony Blu-ray player supports a color depth of
up to 12 bits. Connecting the player and a TV that supports Deep Color via HDMI
allows more accurate color reproduction than when connecting it to a TV that does
not support Deep Color. The Deep Color function can be set to 10-bit, 12-bit,
Auto, or Off.

x.v.Color: The BDP-S3100 supports x.v.Color, meaning it's ready
for x.v.Color discs when they become available in the future.

Screen Settings: The Sony BDP-S3100 features the following
screen
settings:

Screen Format: You can select the display configuration
for a 4:3 screen picture on a 16:9 wide screen television. You can choose
Full or Normal (select when
connected to a TV with a wide mode function;
displays a 4:3 screen picture in 16:9 aspect
ratio even on a wide-screen TV) or Normal (changes
the picture size to fit the screen size with the
original picture aspect ratio).

DVD Aspect Ratio: You can select the
display configuration for playback of 16:9 screen pictures
on a 4:3 screen TV. You can select from Letter Box or Pan
& Scan.

Cinema Conversion Mode: The Sony Blu-ray player offers two
Cinema Conversion Modes - (1) Auto mode automatically detects whether the
material is video-based or film-based, and switches to the appropriate
conversion method. (2) The Video mode is suited for video-based material and
will always be selected regardless of the content.

BonusView: The BonusView feature provides picture-in-picture
capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles. You can view addition content (such
as director/actor commentary) in a small display window while the movie is playing.

Dolby Digital Plus: Dolby Digital Plus
was developed as an extension to Dolby Digital. The audio
coding technology supports 7.1 channel surround sound. Dolby
Digital Plus also includes the standard Dolby Digital bit
stream and is compatible with all current Dolby Digital
processors using the coaxial digital output.

Dolby TrueHD: Dolby TrueHD is a lossless
coding technology that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel
surround sound for the next generation optical discs. The reproduced
sound is true to the original source bit-for-bit.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio: DTS-HD High
Resolution Audio supports a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz,
and 7.1 multi-channel surround. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has
a maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with a lossy compression.

Digital Audio Outputs: The BDP-S3100 is equipped with a
coaxial (RCA) digital output. The Audio menu allows you to select the digital
audio format that is passed through the coaxial digital output. Settings allow
you to transfer Dolby Digital and/or DTS sound tracks, or down-mix surround
bitstreams to 2-channel PCM audio.

Network/Internet Functions

Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Sony BDP-S3100
Blu-ray player supports a wired or wireless network connection. Via the Blu-ray
player's network connection your can enjoy music, video, and still-image files
stored on your computer. You can also listen to internet radio and watch online

features built-in WiFi which allows you to wirelessly access the Internet
and your home network. The Blu-ray player's built-in WiFi provides a
wireless network connection for the player with easy and quick setup. With
this feature, you can easily connect to a wireless LAN and enjoy the
benefits of networking in a cable-free environment. A wireless connection
requires a home network with an 802.11 b/g/n access point (802.11n
recommended) and internet connection. Supports WPS, WEP, and WPA security.
